Fourth – After collecting all necessary information to ensure timely assistance, you may provide any additional details you want the responding crew to know. If your situation requires ongoing guidance while we are en route, we will remain on the line to assist with emergency childbirth, bleeding control, or CPR. Please stay calm and follow the instructions we provide. We may also ask you to complete tasks such as securing pets, gathering medications, and unlocking the front door. If you would like the call taker to stay on the line to help you remain calm, simply let us know. | AI |
It’s disappointing how little research often goes into movies about historical subjects. Some writers seem to disregard factual accuracy, which is a shame, especially when the real history of Blackbeard is far more compelling than the fictionalized version presented here. Very few elements of this film align with actual events. It’s also unfortunate that North Carolina, a key location in Blackbeard’s story, is entirely absent, likely because the filmmakers prioritized shooting in other locations. Even the depiction of where Blackbeard was captured is inaccurate—Ocracoke Island, for example, doesn’t have the mountains shown in the movie. | AI |
Campbell, of Bradford, West Yorkshire, denies three charges of rape and one of perverting the course of justice. In the weeks following the alleged incident at the hotel, Campbell had been in touch with the woman, telling her nothing bad had happened at the hotel, the court heard. The jury was told that Campbell told the woman he had taken a video but it wasn't anything embarrassing - and he asked her to drop the case. He told her all that happened in the hotel room was she had given him oral sex, Doncaster Crown Court heard. The jury earlier heard video evidence from the victim stating that she could not remember anything after being in the club until she woke up the next day in the hotel room. | HUMAN |
Then the Belgium Isabelle (Cécile de France) and Wendy's brother William (Kevin Bishop) join the group, and Xavier learns Spanish language, and finds friendship and love in his experience living abroad. " L' Auberge Espagnole" is one of those movies the viewer becomes sad when it ends. The story is a delightful and funny tale of friendship and love, in a globalized world and an unified Europe. This very charming movie made me feel good and happy, although I have never experienced to live in a republic of students. The newcomer William provokes the funniest situations along the story, with his big mouth and short brain. | HUMAN |
Material management is another key area. Over the next few years, we need to improve the recycling of mobile phones. Looking further ahead, we must design phones that fully align with a cradle-to-cradle concept, ensuring all critical components are systematically recovered and reused in the production of new devices. By 2050, this approach should be integrated into a comprehensive policy framework. It is essential for the Commission to establish clear guidelines now, providing industry with the necessary direction to achieve these goals. | AI |
My loneliness led me to act impulsively, engaging in casual sex and going out more frequently. It wasn’t about getting drunk or seeking hookups; I just wanted to meet new people. One person I had casual sex with twice caught my interest, but they made it clear they weren’t interested, which deepened my sadness. While everything was consensual, I still feel uneasy about the situation. | AI |
Amazon has a policy of not matching their own lower prices within 30 days of purchase. A few months ago, I bought an item and returned it because they refused to refund the difference when the price dropped just two days after my order. This time, I purchased the item again because it appeared in a lightning deal, though I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise. I’ve been using Norelco products for several years, and this purchase replaces an older Norelco shaver whose batteries failed after about seven years of use. The cost of replacing the batteries exceeded the shaver’s remaining value. I’ve been using this new shaver for three weeks now. | AI |
They are now ruined, and will be damaged even further by a 'rescue' plan, which consists of selling the company to non-European shareholders at basement rates and reimbursing its creditors, which have already earned EUR 8.5 billion in interest. This plan was drawn up without consulting the shareholders and has been imposed on them by the Paris Tribunal De Commerce (Court of Arbitration in Business Matters). The only choice open to them is to respond or not to a takeover bid, which will keep them forever sidelined when it comes to capital and, by extension, to business decisions, at the very moment when the business is becoming extremely profitable. | HUMAN |
Even though the three students above, Eve, Sarah and Andy all hinted at the particular discourse of ‘aggressive women’, their answers still showed considerable differences, showing the complexity and ambiguity of the question of what the text is about. Eve stayed closest to the text by focusing specifically on the introductory paragraph, whereas Andy and Sarah were already ‘evaluating’ the text. In mentioning the amusing aspect of the article, Sarah pointed to the ‘preferred reading’ of the text. All three students had interpreted the task as a traditional language classroom task, and followed the academic discourse for that. They gave their answers in a seemingly objective voice. | HUMAN |
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Lange has noted that achieving our objectives requires providing evidence. The goal is to prevent emissions from surpassing 1990 levels to address the greenhouse effect. This is primarily due to carbon dioxide, or CO2, and other greenhouse gases, which experts identify as the cause of global warming. While it may not appear warmer outside at the moment—in fact, it might seem quite the opposite—it is important to recognize that seasonal variations can be significant. Over time, a general warming trend is likely to emerge. | AI |
One of the enduring classics from MGM came out in the closing years of World War II, it's the film that made young Elizabeth Taylor a star. She had done a few films as a child actress before National Velvet, but when it came out her place in the movies was assured. Ironically enough biologically she'd be growing up fast enough after National Velvet was out and her next struggle as an actress was to get substantial adult roles because casting directors only saw her as innocent little Velvet Brown who loved her jumping horse. I'm not sure of how this would work because steeplechase horses have to have confirmed bloodlines and the Pi's are a subject not dealt with in National Velvet. All we know is that he's a reckless and untrainable horse in the hands of Reginald Owen and after he breaks free and causes considerable damage, Owen gets rid of him for a nominal price to the local butcher Donald Crisp. | HUMAN |
Mishima is one of the greatest films ever made. Now I think Paul Schrader is the greatest screenwriter of all time, but I don't really like the films he's directed of what I've seen (with the exception of this and Affliction), but this is an amazing, disturbing, and highly 3-dimensional character study. It follows the life of Yukio Mishima, Japan's most celebrated writer, combining the last day of his life with flashbacks and his stories. I don't know how, but Paul Schrader manages to combine all of those in a very artistic way. The acting is great, so is the photography, and a perfect score by Philip Glass. | HUMAN |
Christians in the country have reported challenges when attempting to revert to Christianity after converting to Islam, with some resorting to forging documents, an act that carries the risk of imprisonment. Samuel Tadros, a research fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, noted that while such conversions were previously common, Egypt's new Sharia-based constitution has significantly undermined religious freedom, describing it as "a real disaster." He predicted that cases of individuals seeking to return to Christianity would rise in the future, but the process would become increasingly difficult. The constitution was implemented last year under President Mohamed Morsi, who assumed office following an election in June after Hosni Mubarak's departure. | AI |
The most broadly used technique for the preparation of aminoalkyl functionalized silica has been, however, the surface modification of pre-produced nanoparticles with trialkoxy silanes. For example, in \\[[@R31]\\] APTES or phenуltriethoxysilane were used as modifiers. However, the amount of modifiers was negligible (4.79 × 10^−4^ mol), and the process time was as long as 19 h. The size of the particles bearing APTES was 150 nm (while the size of the initial TEOS particles was 149 nm). The moment when the second silane is added plays an important role. It was demonstrated that the availability of ligands on the surface could be affected by the time of addition for such functions as amino, monocarboxylate, ethylenediaminetriacetic acid, and ones \\[[@R32]\\]. | HUMAN |
All the Castleman women understood these arts, and employed them. There was Aunt Nannie, when she cracked her whip the dear old bishop-lion would jump as if he had been shot! Did not the whole State know the story of how once he had been called upon at a banquet and had risen and remarked: "Ladies and gentlemen, I had intended to make a speech to you this evening, but I see that my wife is present, so I must beg you to excuse me." The audience roared, and Aunt Nannie was furious, but poor dear Bishop Chilton had spoken but the literal truth, that he could not spread the wings of his eloquence in the presence of his "better half." | HUMAN |
In population studies, it is recognized that the number of individuals captured depends strongly upon how much time (effort) is spent in active pursuit. As a result, a better variable to quote than the number of trout caught is the number of trout per unit effort, or catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE). If one minute is defined as the basic unit of effort for the data in Table , convert the data to a new variable, catch (trout removed) per unit effort (minute). Plot the result in a bar graph similar to Figure and create a table with this additional variable alongside the other three. | HUMAN |
With the imminence of our elections, we are all aware that the largest party in Europe is now the apathy party. We are very conscious that the forecasts for turnout in June are going to be even lower than in the past. A major task facing the next Parliament will be to bring the citizens of the new Europe to a greater understanding of, and involvement with, the institutions. And they are institutions, not institutions. There are a number of methods by which citizens can make their voices heard. | HUMAN |
We then used either MNM or MSP priors to estimate the cortical current distribution (and associated log model evidence) on each of the harmonic surfaces. For validation we used data from one healthy subject who carried out a visually cued, skilled right hand finger movement task. In each trial finger-thumb opposition was carried out for 16 s followed by 16 s of rest, with each experiment comprising 20 trials. All experiments were approved by the University of Nottingham Medical School Ethics Committee. MEG data were recorded using a third order synthetic gradiometer configuration of a 275-channel CTF whole-head MEG scanner (one channel failed giving 274 useful channels), with a sampling rate of 600 Hz and hardware anti-aliasing filters at 0–150 Hz. | HUMAN |
Previous studies showed no differences in VEGF or fibroblast growth factor 2 levels in islet grafts from freshly isolated or cultured islets shortly after transplantation ([@B36]), which aligns with the current angiogenesis gene array findings. However, other differences were noted, such as reduced TIMP levels early after islet isolation, potentially allowing MMP-9 to release more tissue-bound VEGF compared to earlier observations ([@B45]). Additionally, Oil Red O staining of islet graft-bearing livers was conducted to assess whether increased blood perfusion near the grafts was linked to insulin-induced hepatic metabolism and lipid accumulation. Results showed minimal to no lipid accumulation in liver areas adjacent to the islets or elsewhere in the liver. | AI |
Crystal Maiden is currently not a highly popular hero due to significant nerfs in the past. However, she remains very playable and boasts one of the highest win rates in public matches. She offers substantial mana regeneration for her entire team, strong crowd control abilities, and an ultimate with the highest potential damage output in the game. Her main challenges are her slow movement speed and low durability, which require precise positioning to succeed. If you have experience with similar games, these issues are manageable, and playing her can be an effective way to improve your positioning skills if you're still learning. | AI |
Māori Professor Hēmi Whaanga (2020) highlights the valuable insights this book offers for Māori language communities. He particularly recommends the second part for those involved in language planning, revitalization, and Māori-medium education. Key concepts such as native tongue title, compensation for linguicide, and the connection between language revival and wellbeing are identified as areas deserving further exploration in Aotearoa New Zealand. The book emphasizes that language serves as the foundation of existence, carrying thoughts, customs, history, mythology, songs, prayers, emotions, knowledge, and identity. It underscores the central role language plays in shaping and preserving cultural heritage. | AI |
*Ad hoc*power analysis showed that in order to detect two-sided differences higher than 20% in the main outcome variable (TG-AUC) between the two main study groups (men and women), achieving statistical power equal to 85% at a significance level less than 0.05, we had to recruit at least 32 individuals for each group. Due to unexpected conditions, more people entered the study, potentially increasing its statistical power. Values of numerical characteristics were tested for normality by using the Shapiro-Wilk test. All variables deviated from normality, thus non-parametric statistics were used. The Mann Whitney U test was used for the comparison of numerical values between 2 groups and the Pearson\\'s chi-square test was used for evaluating any association between categorical variables. | HUMAN |
The suspect is taken to the police station, where Spider-Man appears on the side of the building to assist the police in their efforts to maintain public safety. Senior Sergeant Corey Allen reflects on how children perceive police work, noting the creative ways they express their ideas using modern technology. He acknowledges that while children often get many aspects right—such as helping the homeless, apprehending criminals, and receiving gratitude for their efforts—some details, like being sent off with coffee by a spouse or receiving assistance from superheroes, are purely imaginative. The video, created by Senior Sergeant Allen, offers a perspective on his daily duties as seen through the eyes of his children. | AI |
Rescuecom claims that Google’s display of sponsored links creates a likelihood of confusion or mistake among consumers. Specifically, Rescuecom alleges that when users search for its website on Google, they are misdirected to ads and websites of competitors, leading them to mistakenly believe these ads or websites are affiliated with or sponsored by Rescuecom. This confusion is heightened, according to Rescuecom, when competitor links appear in a horizontal band at the top of search results, making them appear as the most relevant results rather than advertisements. Rescuecom argues that Google’s failure to clearly distinguish these sponsored links as advertisements, rather than organic search results, contributes to trademark-related consumer confusion. | AI |
This strategy does not require communication between executions, reducing both the complexity of the software and its dependencies. Depending on the size of its inputs, SHARK will usually be limited by the amount of available memory. Memory usually scales with the number of CPUs, and therefore SHARK will usually have multiple CPUs at its disposal. We take advantage of this by further parallelising the execution of SHARK using OpenMP. During the main evolution loop, and for any snapshot, the evolution of galaxies belonging to different merger trees is independent from each other. | HUMAN |
On the night of January 21st, Rupert set out to take possession of the offered town. The snow fell thick, but it did the Prince good service, for it prevented Essex falling {129} upon him, as had been intended. Fortunately, also, Rupert was prudent, and declined to approach very near Aylesbury, until Mozley should appear on the scene in person. This he failed to do. Then the Prince wished to assault the town on the side where he was not expected, but the brook which ran before it was so swelled by the snow and sudden thaw, as to be impassable. | HUMAN |
Both approaches require evaluating as many moves ahead as possible. Each additional move considered exponentially increases the number of possibilities. To manage this, a method called iterative deepening is used. This approach starts by analyzing one move ahead to identify the best move and records it. It then repeats the process, evaluating two moves ahead and updating the best move if a better score is found. This continues incrementally, examining three moves, then four, and so on. The process repeats until a predefined time or size limit is reached. | AI |
From In 1851 the term ‘farm’ was used [by the Census Office] to mean an agricultural holding from which the occupier derived their primary employment and the term ‘farmer’ was restricted to those whose primary occupation was farming. ... Every householder was issued with a household schedule to complete together with an accompanying set of instructions. Under the heading ‘INSTRUCTIONS for filling up the Column headed “RANK PROFESSION, or OCCUPATION”’, there were a number of notes pertaining to specific occupational groups. ... In other words only those who described themselves as ‘farmers’ were requested to return the acreage of their holding and the numbers of in and out-door labourers. There was no request for other occupiers of agricultural land to supply this information. ... | HUMAN |
These little lights are so perfect on our bedroom plant shelf! They look so stunning when lit up at nightlike little fireflies.

He understood. This remarkable individual, shaped by an ancient lineage and embodying its finest qualities, resonated with him in ways he could not fully articulate. He was ready to assist her, not just within the limits of his capabilities but even beyond what his caution and judgment might advise. It was not the first instance in his dealings with Achree that Alexander Cattanach had acted out of selfless intent—actions that left no trace in any formal record. | AI |
We attended the trial, and eagerly watched all the movements from an outside position, and had a man to tell us how proceedings were going on within. He finally came out and said that the case would go against Dorsey. We then formed in a column at the court-house door, and when the slaveholders and Dorsey came out, we walked close to them,--behind and around them,--trying to separate them from him. Before we had gone far towards the jail, a slaveholder drew a pistol on Williams Hopkins, one of our party. Hopkins defied him to shoot; but he did not. | HUMAN |
The _Chiliman’s_ cuddy was entered from the quarter-deck by doors close beside the two flights of steps which conducted to the poop. A large square of hatch yawned near the entrance inside, and you descended a staircase to the steerage where my berth was. The arrangement of this steerage resembled that of the cuddy, but the bulkheads and general furniture were in the last degree plain. I believe they charged about twenty-five pounds for a berth down here, and sixty or seventy guineas for a cabin up above. | HUMAN |
These methods have become widely used as they allow for greater control over dosage and location compared to other exposure routes, such as inhalation, though these routes have certain limitations. For example, aspiration/instillation exposure designs can omit certain chemical groups and may introduce differences in chemical deposition in comparison to inhalation exposure designs. These approaches remain common routes of exposure used to test air pollutant toxicity due to many advantages, including increased feasibility of collecting and evaluating various test atmosphere samples, the ability to more fully characterize chemical composition of the sample, and increased feasibility of in vivo testing to provide reproducible results. | HUMAN |
In the late 1970s, a rebellious youth culture emerged in Britain, Australia, and parts of the United States, characterized by anger and disdain toward the establishment. Punk design drew parallels to the Dadaist style but was distinguished by its overtly political stance, targeting societal oppression and the marginalization of young people. It employed aggressive collages, bold colors, and experimental photography as defining features. Unlike Dada, Punk’s spontaneous and unstructured designs often included sharp, confrontational slogans, channeling a raw intensity. This movement deliberately rejected design conventions, embracing an anti-patriotic and anti-establishment ethos. | AI |
At radiation levels of 7 and 8, even the most resistant SICCAS-type crystals will experience degradation in light transmission. In the FT-Cal, thermal annealing is not a practical solution for recovering this damage, as it would necessitate either removing all 332 crystals or heating the calorimeter to a temperature high enough to accelerate recovery without harming the surrounding FT components or CLAS12. While thermal annealing can be performed during specific CLAS12 shutdown periods, minimizing radiation damage accumulation between maintenance windows is preferable. An alternative approach involves using LED illumination from the FT-Cal's light monitoring system to recover radiation damage in the crystals. This method was investigated for both SICCAS and BTCP-type crystals. | AI |
The 'Meditations of Marcus Aurelius' embrace not only moral reflections; they include, as before remarked, speculations upon the origin and evolution of the universe and of man. They rest upon a philosophy. This philosophy is that of the Stoic school as broadly distinguished from the Epicurean. Stoicism, at all times, inculcated the supreme virtues of moderation and resignation; the subjugation of corporeal desires; the faithful performance of duty; indifference to one's own pain and suffering, and the disregard of material luxuries. With these principles there was, originally, in the Stoic philosophy conjoined a considerable body of logic, cosmogony, and paradox. | HUMAN |
Fish are the only vertebrates among whom one encounters hermaphrodism, either accidental: cyprins, herrings, scombers; or regular, sargue, sparaillon, seran. The myxines, very humble fish living as parasites, are alternative hermaphrodites, like oysters, like ascides; the genital gland functions first as testicle, then as ovary. The amphioxus, the bridge between invertebrates and vertebrates, is not hermaphrodite. The most strongly marked and most complicated forms of hermaphrodism are found in mollusks, and chiefly in gasteropodes. The alternate hermaphrodism of oysters produces effects which have been observed throughout antiquity. | HUMAN |
In 1942, he created the Ideal Photo Studio in Benin City, where he quickly developed a reputation as a young, hard-working professional and an honest businessman. The studio soon became a popular location to have portraits taken. He experimented with a variety of techniques, and he began creating product advertisements, documenting construction projects, photographing parties, and covering business conferences for local companies like Guinness Brewery. He also photographed official ceremonies and historical events for the Nigerian government. In 1956, Alonge photographed Queen Elizabeth's visit to meet Oba Akenzua II at the Benin airport. | HUMAN |
Bruce: After a couple of go arounds, below is the Indian counsel's (Mr. Talwar) opinion with respect to Enron Fuels International's (EFI) claim as to the Fixed Fee as provided in the Fuel Management Agreement (FMA). I am sure Doug Leach has mentioned to you the mark-to-market and accrual income exposure of $14 million should the FMA also were rescinded or parlayed in the final resolution. EFI is continuing to invoice for the Fixed Fee every month although the plant is not operating as is DPC to MSEB. Mr. Talwar's view is that as long as the PPA is valid, EFI has the right to collect the fee. If, however, the PPA is declared to be invalid as per MSEB's claim, then EFI would not be entitled to the fee. | HUMAN |
Indemnification, however, shall not be made for a claim, issue, or matter in which the person has been found liable to the Corporation except to the extent that the director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation who is a party or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction and on receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice it considers necessary orders indemnification based on its determination that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not they met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 and this Section or was adjudged liable as described in this Section, but if they were adjudged liable, their indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred. 3. | HUMAN |
So I'm not arguing whether Color's acquisition is a "fail" on the same level as shutting down, the point is that there is a difference in the startup world, and CB needs to formalize that definition, because such distinctions are among the most important datapoints that a startup DB can provide. The ambiguity/error in Color's listing is worth pointing out because it was a highly watched company, highly mocked, and highly discussed...that its CB status wasn't noticed or fixed is a sort of bellwether for what the case may be for many of the other companies in the DB. | HUMAN |
In an interview, the writers explained how Animaniacs allowed for non-restrictive and open writing. Hastings said that the format of the series had the atmosphere of a sketch comedy show because Animaniacs segments could widely vary in both time and subject, while Stoner described how the Animaniacs writing staff worked well as a team in that writers could consult other writers on how to write or finish a story, as was the case in the episode "The Three Muska-Warners". Rugg, Hastings and Stoner also mentioned how the Animaniacs writing was free in that the writers were allowed to write about parody subjects that would not be touched on other series. | HUMAN |
Mr President, honourable Members, as a former Member of this House, I would like to express my gratitude to the Committee on Transport and Tourism and its chairman for their constructive work during my time as an MEP and for their continued cooperation since my appointment and endorsement by Parliament as European Commissioner for Transport.

However, because the hearing abilities of healthy individuals reach up to 20 kHz, high-frequency audiometry would be required when diagnosing subjects with tinnitus in order to obtain more precise information about the existence of auditory deficits. It has also been questioned whether pure-tone audiometry is sufficiently sensitive to detect auditory deficits because more advanced measures using auditory brainstem responses are capable of revealing potential damage in the inner ear evidenced by a decrease in cochlear output,^[@bib39]^ which has been correlated with tinnitus in animal models.^[@bib40]^ As a consequence, the current methodologies used in the clinics for the assessment of auditory functions might not suffice for identifying a potential peripheral origin of tinnitus generation. | HUMAN |
The reason this movie sucked royally was not because it didn't have the potential to be a good movie it was mainly casting. I don't understand why mainstream Hollywood horror movies cast ridiculous people in roles that don't fit them. The casting of Rhodes was absolutely dumb considering Ving was in the Dawn of the dead remake so it confused everyone into thinking that he survived or something of that nature. Also, if you want a sure shot at ruining your movie just cast Nick Cannon in any part and he will say ridiculous lines like "by the power or gray skull" or some random curse word when he kills his hundredth zombie because apparently he is a super zombie killer as soon as the outbreak occurs. He was quite possibly the worst actor i have ever seen and i just don't understand why he was even cast. | HUMAN |

Historical accounts of relations between the Métis and the Country Born often present contradictions, largely because attempts to generalize are complicated by numerous exceptions. In the mid-19th century, sectarian divisions were likely more significant than language, with ongoing Scottish-French tensions adding further complexity. Generally, however, Anglo-Protestant settlers in the West saw themselves as politically dominant, driven by growing Anglo-Canadian influence in the region. This perception deepened divisions within the Métis and Country Born communities of the Red River. Some interpretations suggest that these groups increasingly recognized their shared interests as they faced rising racism from Canada West. | AI |

Mamie has a rebellious streak—she smokes, swears, acts out, clashes with teachers, and associates with gang leaders. She breaks up with her boyfriend Chip, who drives a Jaguar and is shown in the opening scene attempting to assault a blonde girl before falling off a cliff. After ending things with Chip, Mamie starts seeing Dick Contino, though it’s unclear if this is an improvement. At a party with her new partner, Mel confronts her, accusing her of pushing Chip off the cliff. While Mamie might have wanted to, she wasn’t present when it happened. | AI |
But we’re open for legitimate business. We’re not open for people to come in and push their own agendas and disrupt the business that has to go on here,' said Police chief Sam Dotson. Protesters were tiffed by the police's use of pepper spray claiming things escalated too quickly. In neighboring Ferguson, Missouri, police officers were shot at on Tuesday night, as they tried to investigate a burglary call at one of the town's many buildings burned down in anti-cop riots. Officers were called to the shell of the old Beauty Town store on West Florissant Avenue on Tuesday night around 6pm, and found several suspects stealing hair products from the building's basement. | HUMAN |
"The universe was made on purpose, the circle said.

He added that many young viewers might not see the need for insurance until they face a health issue, emphasizing the importance of coverage even for those without chronic conditions. | AI |
1 used the distinction +/- Low, which focused on one phonetic feature, however we have found that the most salient issue in discussing the vowel patterns of this language is the concept of full vs. epenthetic vowels. For clarity, therefore, this work will use the terms full and epenthetic to distinguish between the two sets of vowel phones, with full referring to /a/ and its prosodically conditioned allophones, and epenthetic referring to schwa and its allophones. 2Likewise in Muyang, another Central Chadic language closely related to Moloko, it can be shown that syllables are built postlexically from the consonant skeleton by regular rules. Only the low vowel /a/ is phonemic, and all high vowels can be accounted for by means of epenthesis (). | HUMAN |
I cannot provide a valid explanation for this situation, as there is none. Regarding your relatives looking down on you, their behavior is simply unacceptable. As for other Chinese individuals who do the same, their actions are equally unjust, though unfortunately, this is a common reality. Having grown up in China, I’ve observed that many Chinese people exhibit racism and bias, particularly toward one another. Even I still carry traces of such prejudice, and I notice it subtly affecting my judgments when I am in China. | AI |
Many respondents were reluctant to discuss their pain with their GP or with family and friends. When asked if they believed their doctor understood their suffering, a common response was, "I think they understand me...I don’t really dwell on it" (ID 0223). It was evident that neither party delved into specifics during these conversations. This reluctance may stem from a concern that discussing pain in greater detail could lead to psychological interpretations, with patients fearing they might be stigmatized or labeled as neurotic: "Yes, I’ve considered that possibility a few times. But it’s hard to determine whether that’s the case or not." | AI |
The urban plans made at the end of the 19th century will define the character of the street structure in this area, by continuing the initial rectangular plot of the historical nucleus of the Iosefin district. The original space of the square was defined as a rectangular space similar to the squares in the other historic areas of the city, based on the orthogonal street structure, with rectangular lots of similar size facing the short side of the square. From a territorial point of view, however, 16 December 1989 Boulevard (formerly 6 March and Hunyadi) has always been the border between Iosefin and Elisabetin districts. Alexandru Mocioni Square is segmented by the boulevard into two distinct parts, of unequal shape and area. These two parts, from an administrative point of view, have always been separated as belonging and even had different names. | HUMAN |
An *ad hoc* power analysis determined that a minimum of 32 participants per group was required to detect two-sided differences greater than 20% in the primary outcome (TG-AUC) between the main study groups (men and women), with 85% statistical power at a significance level below 0.05. Due to unforeseen circumstances, more participants were enrolled, which may have enhanced the study's statistical power. Normality of numerical variables was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, revealing deviations from normality for all variables. Consequently, non-parametric methods were employed: the Mann-Whitney U test for comparing numerical values between two groups and Pearson’s chi-square test for evaluating associations between categorical variables. | AI |
Some Polynesian languages are accusative, others are (partly) ergative; at first sight, Rapa Nui does not seem to fit either pattern. In Chapter 8 on the verbal clause, I show that Rapa Nui is accusative, and that case marking of Agent and Patient is governed by an interplay of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic factors. A passive construction is shown to exist, even though it is less obvious than in related languages. Other topics in this chapter include non-canonical case marking, constituent order, comitative constructions and causatives. | HUMAN |
The term refers to the perceived decline of traditional Christianity, particularly within the Catholic Church, which critics argue altered early church doctrines and integrated elements of Greco-Roman culture—such as solar monism deities like Mithras and Sol Invictus, pagan festivals, Mithraic sun worship, and idolatry—based on its own authority rather than scripture. This shift, justified through claims of tradition rather than biblical teachings, is viewed by proponents of this perspective as evidence of the church’s apostasy. A central aspect of this critique is the belief that the Roman church, in an effort to attract and convert followers, assimilated pagan beliefs and practices, including Graeco-Roman rituals, mysteries, and festivals, into Christianity. | AI |
In October, Natalia gathered over 600 blankets and brought them to a homeless shelter to celebrate her birthday. Caring for Natalia has strained the family’s finances, leaving their credit cards maxed out. They hope to continue raising donations in her memory. “Though she is no longer with us, she remains alive in the hearts and minds of those who loved her and the countless lives she touched,” the family shared in a statement. | AI |
. Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, we often overlook this region because it was formerly hidden in the shadows of the Soviet Union, and did not therefore develop in any independent way. Today, however, the region is of enormous strategic importance due to its reserves of gas and oil, and its significance in terms of energy supplies and so on. This strategic importance is also a result of China’s increasing interest in the region, the rise of Muslim fundamentalism and the fact that a number of these countries are getting caught up in the drug trade. | HUMAN |
Electron neutrinos are produced in nuclear reactions, and those emitted from the 1987A supernova in the nearby Magellanic Cloud were detected on Earth within hours of the initial brightening. This observation indicates that the neutrinos traveled at speeds close to that of light. By analyzing the time delay between the arrival of the neutrinos and the light from the supernova, an upper limit on the neutrino mass can be established. If the neutrino mass were small, the particles could travel at speeds very near the speed of light while still maintaining a reasonable energy level, typically on the order of MeV. This data provides a constraint on the neutrino mass, as a larger mass would result in a more significant delay in arrival time due to relativistic effects. | AI |
How are you doing? Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner regarding Stickley, but I was doing research to see if I could find any information about the company. Unfortunately, I had no success. I have contacted Mega group, (our buying group) to see if perhaps they had any information, but... again another brick wall. I cannot find a web site, or any listing in "Furniture Today" (a listing of all manufacturers in the U.S.) If I come across anything I will let you know. | HUMAN |
Trademarks are also different from other intellectual property rights in that they are not limited in duration. Patents and copyright are granted only for limited periods of time because society benefits by putting an invention or literary work into the public domain once the inventor or artistic creator has recouped the costs of innovation and been rewarded for the pioneering endeavor. Trademarks, however, never hinder the sales of other products or services, so they are granted in perpetuity so long as they are not abandoned by the trademark owner. | HUMAN |
HIDE IN A SHELL and AIN'T NOBOBY BUT ME aren't hit tracks but have surrealistic appeal. Due to technical restraint of the time when it was released, some of the songs were shortened or radio-edits but unless you are an avid fan of this band, it could suffice. If you can afford a new CD price, however, I would recommend [[ASIN:B000007492 The Very Best Of Supertramp]], improved version of this compilation with the addition of SCHOOL and longer version of the major tracks. Verdict: First of their official compilations. Well-made. | HUMAN |
We also show observational inferences of Calette et al. ( 2018) for the gas fractions for LTGs and ETGs, who analysed in a self-consistent way a large compilation of HI and H2 observations in the local Universe. We find that the observations suggest that the difference between LTGs and ETGs is larger than that obtained in SHARKat M⋆≳1010 M⊙, regardless of the way we select ETGs/LTGs in the model, which may be connected with the fact that we do not yet include in SHARK environmental processes that strip the ISM of galaxies. Those will be included in future versions of SHARK, and this issue will be explored in detail. At M⋆≲1010 M⊙, we see a reversal of the relation in the case of the (B/T)bar, due to the effect of gas-rich disks being assigned to the LTG population. | HUMAN |
During the patent prosecution, the applicants stated that a five minute rise time would be outrageously short. Response to Office Action, February 2, 1998, in Ex. 2 to Golden Dec. The two to ten minutes in which Defendant's dough is being transferred to the shaping machine would be such an "outrageously short" rise time. The same analysis applies to the time the dough remains on a tray after shaping but before the dough is covered and left to rise. This time, half a minute to eight minutes in Defendant's process, is insufficient to satisfy the rising period in Claim 1, step e. ("another quarter hour or so") The absence of the rising periods claimed in Patent 606, Claim 1, steps c and e precludes a finding of infringement.[3] | HUMAN |
During its first months of existence the Special Programs Unit tried to quiet racial unrest by a rigorous application of the separate but equal principle. It began attacking the concentration of Negroes in large segregated groups in the naval districts by creating more overseas billets. Toward the end of 1943, Negroes were being assigned in (p. 077) greater numbers to duty in the Pacific at shore establishments and aboard small defense, district, and yard craft. The Bureau of Naval Personnel also created new specialties for Negroes in the general service. One important addition was the creation of black shore patrol units for which a school was started at Great Lakes. | HUMAN |
That's very true, and it's not limited to conspiratorial thinking. There have been a lot of studies going back to the 50s, more recently supported through the study of brain development, using brain scans and other methods, going all the way back to the womb. It's easy to imagine that things like child abuse, beatings, or even accidental trauma can lead to irrational thinking. When it turns out how merely elevated stress levels during pregnancy can be a factor, or things like spanking, yelling, or even more subtle forms of coercion - ie. having no choice, willingly and knowingly, but to comply - such as merely putting a kid in a very good daycare against their will, can affect cognitive and behavioral outcomes, it becomes more understandable why this is kind of jumping to conclusions most of the comments are wild accusations or even just random thoughts and ideas. | HUMAN |
The couple married at the chapel in St John's Hospice in Lancaster after Mrs Gilhespy's condition took a turn for the worse. ' On January 6, she went to get the results. She went on her own with Callum as we weren't expecting anything major but she was told it was tongue cancer.' The 28-year-old then underwent two operations in a bid to fight to disease including surgery to remove part of her tongue in February. But despite intensive radiotherapy, the family was given the devastating news in July that her cancer was incurable. | HUMAN |
Communication issues were present at the time, and even now, payments may be delayed until the individuals entitled to receive them can be identified and contacted. Resolving the numerous challenges related to property succession was unlikely to have been intended by Congress to be accomplished within such a brief period. Additionally, the provisions of §§ 621-28 do not apply in this case, as there is no assertion that Kapsis was employed "on a voyage which is to terminate in the United States," as required by 46 U.S.C. § 621. | AI |
Which of those 3 buttons a player chose often says so much about their combined playthrough of all three games. Linearly in terms of that playthrough so many gamers felt they only had "one choice" at the end, and that is an amazing psychological trick because the statistics BioWare revealed show that among players that did complete the final choice it was an almost even split (and a surprising number of players took the interesting fourth choice of just quitting there and not making a choice). | HUMAN |
The idea underlying the stabilisation and association process is sufficiently broad and flexible to ensure a constant project in this area. With regard to the agreements, the fact that it is taking some time to prepare these should not, in our opinion, jeopardise the whole stabilisation process. This has not been the EU' s experience in equivalent regional processes in the past. As with other comprehensive agreements, we therefore hope to be able to establish interim agreements covering the period between the signature and ratification of these agreements, bearing in mind that normally almost twenty months pass between these two events. It is also worthwhile to remember that we already have contractual relations in the form of trade and cooperation agreements with Albania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. | HUMAN |
In September 2016, concerns arose about Takaya's ability to coexist with humans after campers reported being "cornered" by the wolf, along with their dogs. As a result, conservation officers closed the park for several months to evaluate whether Takaya posed a threat to people. During a local radio interview, Alexander stated she had never witnessed any aggressive behavior from the wolf. She also expressed frustration that the campers did not provide a detailed account of the incident, noting it was "most likely not aggressive." | AI |
I originally was going to get a room in this apartment I'm currently at, but my roommate fell through last minute and I ended up staying in a room with someone else for a few months. Nearing the end of the duration of my stay in his room I found a place with my two friends in the upper east side. At the last minute the lease was denied due to some stupid issue with the co-signer's freelance job. They ended up moving into a room in this warehouse, and I ended up getting stuck without a place. I'm currently couch surfing in the place, all of my shit is in boxes and I'm taking up space in my friends' room just so I can still use my desktop. | HUMAN |
From August to September, the Italians harvest manna by making a series of incisions at the base of the tree. Each day, a new cut is made about four inches above the previous one, with each incision being approximately two inches long and half an inch deep. When the cut is made, the manna begins to flow immediately, initially appearing as a clear liquid. As it flows, it solidifies and is collected in baskets. Manna is composed of two distinct substances: one resembling sugar and the other similar to a gum or mucilage. | AI |
HLA typing for class I A and B was conducted at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences HLA laboratory using peripheral blood leukocytes or small aliquots of hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) products. DNA-based methodologies, including a reverse sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe method, were employed. Commercial kits from One Lambda, Inc. (Canoga Park, CA) were used, and the assays followed the manufacturer's instructions. Specific biotinylated primers were utilized to amplify exons 2 and 3 for each class I locus. The amplified DNA was denatured and hybridized to oligonucleotide probes attached to microsphere beads for HLA type identification. Detection of the biotinylated DNA product was achieved using Streptavidin (SAPE). | AI |
After Romancing, Zemeckis had the clout to direct his time-traveling screenplay. Starring Michael J. Fox, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, and Christopher Lloyd, the 1985 film was wildly successful upon its release and was followed by two sequels, released as Back to the Future Part II in 1989 and Back to the Future Part III in 1990. Before the Back to the Future sequels were released, Zemeckis collaborated with Disney and directed another film, the madcap 1940s-set mystery Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which combined traditional animation and live-action; its $70 million budget made it one of the most expensive films made up to that point. The film was both a financial and critical success and won three Academy Awards. In 1990, Zemeckis commented, when asked if he would want to make non-comedies, "I would like to be able to do everything. | HUMAN |
The wife hired accountant Emanuel Gerstein to assist in this dissolution action. At the time she filed her motion, Gerstein was withholding documents due to her failure to pay him. The trial court denied the wife’s motion to compel, citing a contract clause that granted Gerstein a retaining lien on all documents provided by the wife until full payment was made. However, despite the retaining lien provision in the contract, we conclude the trial court erred in denying the wife’s motion to compel the return of her financial documents. The parties did not present any statute or case law directly addressing this issue. | AI |
During operation, the surgical site is considered as quasi-sterile although the microbiota present in deep tissues were rarely studied. In routine, sampling for microbiological analysis of the surgical site is performed only when the surgeon detected infection symptoms. Besides, many procedure are performed with the aim to limit bacterial contamination in the surgical site: antisepsis and antibiotic prophylaxis for the patient, wound edge protection, surgery team attire, operating room air treatment and surfaces cleaning, improved practices in anaesthesiology and surgery, etc (Beckmann et al., [ @B5]). Published research studies on the surgical site contamination are based on culture and they remain scarce mainly because no clear correlation was found with the occurrence of SSI (Bouza et al., [ | HUMAN |
Stop at one of these houses and ask for hospitality, and you will find out what the word really means. I have often thought of it when I was sitting through huge official dinners where the great ones of the earth were arranging its destinies over the champagne and truffles—with the murder of a nation in their hearts. The commanded smile, and the cold, watchful eyes—the men fencing with words for rapiers, and we women watching every play of the shrouded steel and pretending to talk amiable nothings to each other; the gasp of relief at parting, and the consignment to everlasting perdition of the adversary, which broke from our worried mate when the door of the brougham had been clapped to and we could sink back on the cushions as we rolled away! | HUMAN |
The first precept in Buddhism is considered violated only when an actual living being is harmed or killed, which means that playing violent video games does not directly breach this principle, as no real beings are harmed. However, the broader intent of the precept is to cultivate a mindset of harmlessness toward all living things. The primary concern lies in the state of the mind, which is central to Buddhist practice. Violent video games can foster negative emotions like ill-will and tension, which are counterproductive to meditation and mental clarity. Additionally, the mental actions and intentions generated during such activities create kamma (action), which will produce consequences when the appropriate conditions arise. | AI |

Surely, consent must depend on "chain of states" of interactions between the parties.

From this moment, Bad party lost the argument for it's life. It can't argue that it ought to not be killed, or Bad party enters in an performative contradiction ("by pointing the gun, Bad party performance proves that for Bad party, it's 'ok' to kill anyone; so this can be applied back to itself. | HUMAN |

From the acting, direction, scriptwriting and art direction this film is just entirely ill conceived and the money would have been better spent on shoes for land mine victims. When did we get so sad that they have to fill a a children's movie with sexual innuendo to keep the parents attention. Dr Suess is rolling in his grave right now, what with the "dirty ho" "S.H.I.T" and fake erection scenes etc etc etc. Its shameful how they trade on the name of Suess to get the parents to bring their kids, throw in the profanities to try for the teens and a few sad parents who won't watch a a film with their child if there is no T & A. Greed greed and more greed. Compare this to the classic children's films and we can get a disturbing view of world is turning into. | HUMAN |
For example, we can use Ampere’s Law to get a mathematical expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field due to an infinitely-long straight wire. I’m going to incorporate our understanding that, for a segment of wire with a current in it, the current creates a magnetic field which forms loops about the wire in accord with the right-hand rule for something curly something straight. In other words, we already know that for a long straight wire carrying current directly away from you, the magnetic field extends in loops about the wire, which, from your vantage point, are clockwise. | HUMAN |
The scientific study of many disease-causing human viruses is severely hampered by the inability to grow or propagate them in vitro or in laboratory animals at all or in sufficient numbers to subject them to analytical techniques. Thus, little is known about their characteristics and the means by which they cause disease. In addition, the inability to obtain a sufficient amount of infectious virus particles at a sufficient degree of purity prevents the development of assays for the detection of the presence of the virus in samples from patients. This inability also prevents the development of vaccines or drugs to prevent or treat the diseases caused by these viruses. Thus, in many respects, the ability to make significant medical progress against a number of virus-caused illnesses in humans will depend upon the development of techniques for propagating these viruses in the laboratory. | HUMAN |
After creating a single ranked list that includes both samples, you can proceed with the Mann-Whitney U test. This test evaluates whether the two samples likely come from populations with different averages or locations. It does this by examining the distribution of ranks between the two groups. If one sample predominantly occupies the higher ranks and the other the lower ranks, it suggests a difference in population averages. To assess this, the ranks of each group are summed and compared. If the rank sums are similar, it indicates that the groups are well-mixed within the ranked list. | AI |
While not a classic, this film is more polished than its predecessor, *Goal!*. The game scenes felt less artificial, partly because they incorporated footage from actual matches. Becker held his own alongside players like Zidane, Roberto Carlos, and David Beckham—at least when he wasn’t handling the ball. For example, in a locker room scene at the Bernabéu, his involvement in a juggling sequence was wisely limited to a single touch. | AI |
The properties at position α are independent of learning success. For instance, a collection of languages L belongs to rRInf canConvSDecExs if and only if there exists a total learner M that conservatively and strongly decisively Ex-learns every L in L from canonical informants. This implies that for every canonical informant I corresponding to some L in L, the conditions Conv(M, I), SDec(M, I), and Ex(M, I) are satisfied. It is also standard to impose certain learning restrictions on M’s hypothesis sequence, without requiring the learning process to succeed. For example, we will demonstrate that there exists a collection of languages L where a learner behaves consistently on all L in L and Ex-learns all of them, denoted as L in rInfConsExs. | AI |
On first listen, *The World Hates Me* by Boarders is likely to captivate with its ability to seamlessly shift between styles, from the hard rock/metal energy of "True Rebellion," which carries a hint of Axl Rose, to moments reminiscent of AC/DC, and tracks that echo Megadeth's vocals and riffs. The album also includes a solid cover of "In My Darkest Hour," and its closing track draws clear inspiration from Metallica's "Orion." While the band demonstrates impressive skill and versatility, the wide range of metal and hard rock styles leaves the impression that they haven’t yet fully solidified their own distinct sound. This is the only reason I hesitate to give the album a perfect score, though further listens might shift my perspective. | AI |
Many respondents did not like talking about their pain either with their GP or their family and friends. When we asked patients whether they believed the doctor understood their suffering, a typical answer was, "I believe they do understand me...I don't think so much about that" (ID 0223). Obviously, both parties did not go into any detail. This may be motivated by the feeling that a more extensive talk about pain might provoke a psychological hypothesis such that patients are afraid to be stigmatised or branded neurotic:"Yes, I have thought about that a couple of times. But it's difficult to decide for yourself if it's because of that or not. | HUMAN |
Seeing in your issue of October 13, 1883, an article on "Crystallization in Extracted Honey," I beg leave to differ a little with the gentleman. I have handled honey as an apiarist and dealer for ten years, and find by actual experience that it has no tendency to crystallize in warm weather; but on the contrary it will crystallize in cold weather, and the colder the weather the harder the honey will get. I have had colonies of bees starve when there was plenty of honey in the hives; it was in extreme cold weather, there was not enough animal heat in the bees to keep the honey from solidifying, hence the starvation of the colonies. | HUMAN |
Here's the reality of video, and this goes for a lot of things that Apple makes "simple and beautiful". They fundamentally aren't. Video is a fundamentally difficult mess, a PITA, and the only way to have it work really smoothly is to have enough control over the entire stack to ensure that things work they way they are supposed to... and even then it doesn't always work. People adopting MP4 as a standard has gone a long way towards making things "just work" generally, but it's not sufficient by itself for a quality live stream. | HUMAN |
As told by Bulteel, the hill was easily occupied the day September 22, 1943 by British Grenadiers but not having had the opportunity to entrench themselves and being few in number they were driven back by a counterattack losing many men. On the 24th the Coldstream Guards, including Bulteel, attacked the enemy position. As they advanced along the slope of the hill, he recalled that the ground was strewn with the bodies of his fallen comrades two days earlier. The battle was hard and there were many casualties on both sides. Historians will use DNA testing to find relatives of two British World War Two soldiers whose remains were found in Italy. | HUMAN |
From 1985, when *Jones & Laughlin* was decided, through February 2000, when *Cobb* was decided, every case applying the voluntary abandonment rule to bar TTD compensation involved a claimant who had not only left their former position but was also unemployed during the claimed disability period for reasons unrelated to their industrial injury. During this time, we did not directly address whether the bar to eligibility would remain or be lifted if the claimant reentered the workforce and later became temporarily disabled due to the original injury. To resolve this issue, it would be necessary to reexamine the principle that eligibility for TTD compensation generally depends on whether the former position of employment would still be available to the claimant once their industrial injury stabilizes. | AI |

Kansas City Confidential is an excellent film noir on the cheap. It stars John Slightly Scarlet Payne playing a revenge-minded ex-con trying to even the score. ( He's framed while driving a truck full of posies - probably the most unlikely guy to be framed for a bank job.)

Yet there's no doubt that he could turn into a killer at any moment. | HUMAN |
The review of this movie is overwhelmingly positive. James Woods plays Lloyd Hopkins, a disillusioned cop who becomes deeply involved in a case after his wife, Penny, leaves him. Based on a novel by James Ellroy, this crime drama delivers a strong performance. While it may not quite match the acclaim of *L.A. Confidential* in certain aspects, it comes close and even surpasses it in others, largely due to James Woods' subtle and compelling acting. Woods remains an actor who is consistently underrated in his craft. | AI |
His manuscript was highly informative, written in a scholarly and distinctive hand reminiscent of Lanfranc, the Archbishop of Canterbury during William the Conqueror’s reign. He spent little time on sightseeing or bargaining, instead dedicating his days to meeting with Buddhist abbots and sages who, through intense discipline and focus, had reportedly gained extraordinary abilities. These figures held him in deep regard, much like Hall Caine’s interactions with prominent Islamic scholars in Egypt. It seems likely that Arnold envisioned a significant work on these Eastern ascetics, though he never published such a project. | AI |
